About The Mod: Though Humans and Drauven rarely get along, events in the base game suggest that cooperation is certainly possible… However, the mistrust between the two factions can't be bridged immediately. The story begins when an act of mercy shown to a Drauven child sets off a sequence of events that could result in that child meeting your heroes again, years later.
Overview: This mod adds the possibility to recruit Drauven characters to join your heroes and forge their own Legacy! These Drauven heroes will seamlessly integrate along your human adventurers and participate in all the great stories your Yondering Lands has to offer. (Mostly… see Beta Status and Known Issues below)
Currently Completed Features:
A story chain that leads to your party recruiting their first Drauven party member.
4 unique Drauven-only skills for EACH CLASS, plus alternative default spells for Drauven mystics.
Drauven are generated with random Drauven-style names plus random face & clothing details.
Drauven aging attributes are completely separate from Human aging.
Your Drauven heroes will have Drauven children joining the party.
Your Drauven are now eligible for some themes/transformations.
Drauven Outposts are a new type of station that can be built once your first Drauven character has been recruited.
Numerous comic updates throughout the game so that events respond to your Drauven characters.
Note: Beta Status Many things in this mod are probably not very well balanced yet! We are actively seeking feedback for the skills and abilities these Drauven bring to the game so that we can refine the mechanics. You can share your thoughts and feedback by joining our Discord server (below) or by filling out this form.
We are actively working on our next milestone! You can follow our progress, report bugs, and suggest improvements at our Github.
If you would like to help out, hang out or just share your thoughts on Wildermyth's reptilian race you can also join our Discord.
Known Issues and Incompatibilities: Known Issues:
The list is extensive and new ones are always being discovered, check the Github (link above) for more comprehensive info. This list will only include the most common issues/issues that we are not likely to try and fix in the near future.
Drauven taking on human themes may have graphical misalignments.
Drauven will sometimes talk oddly in comics, as if they were still human. This is an endless task for us devs to edit and fix, if you find any wording issues, please report them!
Soft Incompatibility :
These mods will work with Drauven PCs, but may not have intended behavior.
Love is in the Air: Adds a number of Wilderness encounters with high encounter priority that make it difficult to trigger The Abandoned.
Most Recent Changelog (0.12.0) Highlights:

Plus a bunch of comic updates, bugfixes, and more!
